Apple Oatmeal Cookies II

margarine, softened

honey

vanilla extract

whole wheat flour

baking soda

cinnamon

oats

apple,

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.


In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, honey, egg and vanilla until smooth. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats and apple. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.


Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.


This doesn't taste like it's good for you! I added about 3/4c. raisins and substituted the margarine with 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce and used applesauce for the apples. Increased the cinnamon to a fat teaspoon and added a pinch nutmeg ginger and cloves. This will be our new favorite cookie!

Taste absolutely amazing but I had to make small changes: I added.5 C of brown sugar for extra sweetness which I think was necessary after tasting them. I also had to add more flour after my first batch came out somewhat flat and near impossible to take off of the cookie sheet. I'd increase flour to at least 1 1/4 C. Also a tip is leave them out of an air-tight container at least for the first night. I put mine in after they were out for about an hour and they were somewhat pancake-like in "crispness" the next day. It didn't affect the flavour I just prefer crispier cookies. Beyond those small changes these were FANTASTIC like a healthy bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal inside a cookie. The house smelled great while they were cooking too.

These make great snacks for kids... wholesome ingredients and NO refined sugars. I added 1 large ripe mashed banana into the wet ingredients to increase sweetness. I also used applesauce instead of chopped apples because my boys still have problems eating things with lots of texture. I also would recommend increasing the cinnamon to one full teaspoon. Making them this way I came out with slightly less than 4 dozen and the cookies were somewhat cakelike. They were yummy and my toddlers ate them up!

These cookies have great texture but all that honey doesn't make them sweet. Add a half-cup of brown sugar to make them delicious! Also these were FAR too small; use bigger drops than 1 tsp.!

Thank you I have been looking for a recipe like this; all-natural sweeteners all food ingredients something I can eat when hungry without feeling guilty or ill. I made a couple changes: I creamed 2/3 c applesauce in with the wet ingredients in place of the chopped apple to save work. I also used 1 c rolled oats and 1/2 c quick oats instead of all quick oats. I also used real butter in place of margarine. These are VERY good and are quickly becoming my lunch. I'm going to bake a ton of them and put them in the freezer for quick snacks and breakfasts. P.S. The cookies are very moist when made with 2/3 c applesauce and might fall apart easily when being removed from the cookie sheet. I used parchment paper underneath the cookies in place of greasing the sheets so I didn't have this problem. I just slid the paper off the cookie sheets on to the counter to cool after allowing them to cool on the sheets for five minutes. They are a hold-in-the-hand cookie instead of a hold-by-the-edge cookie.

Thank you for this recipe! I prefer to only use natural sugar and whole wheat flour so I was excited to try these cookies. I don't use margarine (I'd recommend using butter instead as there is nothing natural about margarine) and we have dairy and egg allergies in the family so I replaced the margarine with the same amount of unsweetened applesauce and used 1/2 a mashed banana for the egg. I also didn't feel like cutting up an apple so I used 1/2 cup raisins. I love the way they came out: moist chewy just the right of sweetness and all wholesome ingredients! My two year old and I gobbled them up! In fact my biggest problem was not eating all the cookies in one sitting. They're so small; it's easy to have just one more! I'm looking forward to experimenting with this recipe and will definitely try with the apples. Yum!

I replaced the oil with applesauce and they still turned out great! Very moist for a low fat cookie.

Good recipe! I tweaked it a bit -- added 1/2 cup brown sugar for sweetness 1/4 cup flour (used white instead of wheat flour) to thicken a little 1/2 teas. cinnamon for more flavor 1/2 cup craisins and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Excellent!

These were all right cookies. The texture reminded me more of a spongy cake than of a cookie. Also I would suggest shredding or mincing the apples as "chopping" did not make them small enough for them to be evenly distributed in the dough.
